The head coach of Spartak football Valery Karpin himself honestly resigned after three disastrous matches allotted to correct the difficult situation in which the team found itself. The term for Karpin the coach was designated by Karpin the general director, the football community beat with a hoof in anticipation of reprisals, the torsida was ready to defend the unfortunate pet, but the point was not in them, but in Karpin himself: he himself had to make a decision. He will also lead the team to a cup match with Kuban, and then he will help the new chief only as a general director, which will end the bifurcation.
A strange situation with him: yesterday Karpin did not want to see, but today he is missing. This happens when a chair that combines a throne and an electric chair is occupied by a very extraordinary and controversial, but strong personality. His struggle (including with himself) is in plain sight, from the first steps the process takes place in a very modern genre of talk shows, the main character comments on what is happening, demonstrating either amazing sincerity or frankly mocking the bewitched audience.
He defended himself, attacking - like his team, torn apart by gaming complexes, but capable of the most insane impulse. Karpin undertook to train Spartak two years ago, correcting his own mistake with the invitation of the famous Mikael Laudrup - under the motto "I was not, but we'll see", with the undeniable confidence that he will be able to quickly master the most difficult of the professions available in sports, bypassing the time of apprenticeship.
Spartak plowed the season merrily and recklessly, immediately running up to the second step - with the same apparent ease with which Valery Georgievich handed out interviews that diverged into quotes. Then it was necessary to study and gain experience, which Karpin was categorically recommended, but did not benefit: he looked better as an impudent and charming amateur than a system builder. An attempt to build a team and a game like brick by brick failed. The last flash was reaching the quarter-finals of the Europa League, but between the delightful victory over Ajax and the humiliating defeat by Porto (and the last place in the standings of the Russian championship), an abyss lay.
Karpin did not know why he succeeded - but it's not scary. It is much more serious that he still does not know why it does not work.
Now it will be time to think about what was wrong. Maybe he'll come back.
